Biomin's PoultryStar approved by EU

Global feed additive company Biomin has been granted EU-wide authorization for its new multi-species, host-specific probiotic.

The probiotic will be marketed in the EU under the umbrella of the global PoultryStar brand, which has been improving chicken health and feed conversion ratios by stimulating beneficial gut microflora and improving pathogen resistance.

With tightening restrictions on in-feed antibiotics all over the world, feed millers and livestock farmers will look upon this development with great interest.

The additive has been cleared by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), which determined it safe for animals, humans and the environment, and that it delivers the promised benefits to the target species.

Michaela Mohnl, Director of Biomin’s Competence Center Microbials, emphasised the benefits: “Several feeding trials worldwide have already confirmed the efficacy of PoultryStar in alleviating a wide range of pathogenic conditions such as coccidiosis, necrotic enteritis, bacterial lameness and salmonellosis, in addition to improving performance parameters.”


PoultryStar recently received great interest from European veterinary and nutritional experts, having been presented at the 18th World Veterinary Poultry Association Congress in France and the 19th European Symposium on Poultry Nutrition in Germany.
